MINNEAPOLIS, MN - Snoop Dogg found himself at the center of some unexpected courtside drama as he watched Luka Doncic lead the Dallas Mavericks to a decisive 123-103 victory over the Minnesota Timberwolves, securing their place in the 2024 NBA Finals.
During the game, a moment captured by both the TV broadcast and fan footage showed Doncic appearing to direct some choice words towards the rap icon. As the 6-foot-7 guard scored, he shouted, "Who's crying, muthafucka?" seemingly in Snoop's direction. The veteran rapper reacted with laughter, adding to the electrifying atmosphere.
However, it was later clarified that Doncic’s comment was not aimed at Snoop Dogg but at a Timberwolves fan sitting directly behind him who had been heckling the NBA All-Star throughout the game. The playful banter continued to trend on social media, with Snoop thoroughly enjoying the spirited exchange.
Snoop Dogg's delight didn't end there. He was seen shaking his head in disbelief as Doncic banked a three-pointer off the glass during the fourth quarter, sealing the Mavericks’ win and their berth in the Finals against the Boston Celtics starting on June 6.
This amusing interaction is not Snoop Dogg's first brush with humorous confusion this month. Recently, the 52-year-old rapper attempted to stream the new "Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes" movie, only to accidentally watch a low-budget rip-off titled "Empire of the Apes" on Tubi. Snoop shared his hilarious frustration on Instagram, showing his followers the cheaply made ape masks and providing his trademark colorful commentary.
“This is some straight bullshit. I went to Tubi thinking I was finna watch the motherfucking Planet of the Apes 2024, and this shit comes on,” he exclaimed, much to the amusement of his fans. The mix-up led to a viral moment, with many fans commenting on the absurdity of the situation.
As the Mavericks prepare for their showdown with the Celtics, fans and celebrities alike are rallying behind them. Whether Doncic can lead Dallas to an NBA Championship remains to be seen, but his performance and playful interactions have certainly made an impression.
